Its always tough, situations like this. I think a higher pct of people will associate him with Boston, but a ton of people (like me) will think of him as a Yankee.
I know when Reggie Jackson had to go into the hall and decide what hat to wear, I met him at a card show, and i told him that while he had been with many teams, he will always be a Yankee to the fans, and you could see he really thought about it and shook his head yes. I would love to see Clemens go into the hall (if he ever does now) as a Yankee, but going in as a Red Sox wouldnt surprise me.
Ultimately the Hall can choose. Gary Carter went in as an Expo because the Hall wanted to finally get an Expo in there. To me, he is a Met.I AM SO THANKFUL FOR BEING BORN IN NEW YORK AND FOR BEING A FAN OF ALL NEW YORK SPORTS TEAMS

I would say he is a RedSox, He became a star in Boston and spent most of his time in Boston. He was only on the Yanks for a few years. So he won a couple of rings in New York, Wade Boggs won a championship with the Yankees but he is thought of as a RedSock and rightfully so. Clemens also won 2 Cy Youngs as a Blue Jays. Is there a question if he is a Blue Jay? The Hall is the one who says what hat he goes in with anyway and I think they will say (if he gets in) that his hat will have a B on it.39 AL Pennants • 26 World Series titles

Although Clemens won a ws with the Yankees, none of his ten best seasons were in that uniform. He should definitely wear a Red Sox cap.
Out of Gary Carter's six best seasons, 5 came with the Expos. I cannot see putting a Mets cap on him just because the NY media is so much more of a presence than the Montreal media.
